I sort of do, I have vague fuzzy memories of inexpensive horror films attempting to push SuchandSuchgetsMaimedandMurdered 3D!!!!!! now and again during the late eighties and early nineties. Of course, I had no chance of seeing them at such a young age, and that AMAZING 3D! Didn’t carry over to VHS, regardless of whether they came packaged with those fragile paper glasses-you were not seeing **. Lately Hollywood has been making efforts to bring back 3D in the theater, I think they have realized that IMAX isn’t that superb as they try to market it. Unless you like vertigo, everybody has their quirks. I’ll admit the one thing I saw in theaters with the fabled 3D aspect was ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas a couple of years ago, and the sole remotely 3D part was the pumpkin at the beginning trying to psych you up for the superb 3D! That was going to slam into your eye sockets. Obviously I didn’t expect much after that.
Now, there’s a steady push in the market for 3D in *television*, especially in the area of gaming. I believed it was impossible, that kind of stuff could surely only be available in, THE FUTURE. But you can now, in reality drop anywhere from 8 hundred-to one thousand on a fair tower able for 3D PC game-play. In a few months, the number one company in the field Nvidia will be releasing a 3.5 foot tower with a clear Plexiglas side to show off it’s super power 3D water cooling within. Of course, your going to new hardware if you want to play with state-of-the-art technology. Which is to be expected, of course, 3D gaming requires double the framerate the 2D gaming does. You can technically have it on an older system, but unless you like observing everyone on your screen doing the robot, then it time to start saving. Or not, like everyone who isn’t an elitist, hardcore pc gamer.
As for the majority of game players out there who like their consoles, don’t fret. The slowly reviving PS3 will be seeing a 3D upgrade this summer, and the Xbox 360 is certain to follow. Even still, you’ll need a new 3D HDTV that supports HDMI 1.4 to even support that. Since I love to say that many people are like me and do not even have a HDTV ( Ok, I don’t have a TV at all ), we won’t have to stress about spending scratch on a new television solely to stay alongside of the neighbors. Particularly since we are going to be just about needed to buy a whole new group of games to play, since we cannot be ready to play ANY of the games currently out there on these new 3D systems, they simply do not have the framerate required. Now, this doesn’t take away from the extraordinary things I’ve heard about 3D gaming, in truth it could be the future of gaming. I also said the same about the Wii, but this time I think I’m right. I know Microsofts next-gen console will have 3D technology built in, and if that doesn’t change the way we game I don’t know what will.
As per usual, it will take a while for 3D anything to become reasonable. And it won’t actually become widespread until console’s are pushing it, it’ll be a couple of years before we see that. Do not worry though, remember when DVD players were going for a grand a pop? I am doing, and it’s 10 years later and you’ll be able to find a good one on the sidewalk during Bulk garbage Night. If your desperate for some 3D like it 1985 [however ,] unreal just commented that it’s imaginary Engine will shortly be in a position to go 3D with a straightforward switch flip. A fair gaming rig with a young graphics card connected up to a 120Hz monitor can handle a lot of games in 3D now, but Nvidia’s 3DTC Play just commented that shortly you are going to be able to hook up a gaming P.C to a 3D HDTV. In all honesty though, if you are really going to spend the money on a first gen 3D HDTV, you can’t overlook a PC that may 3D GAME. I do not care how much you loved Nightmare before Xmas, seeing it in 3D in you living room will never match up to the Awesome that’s playing a game like Bioshock in all it’s 3D glory.
